Are both that and as in the parentheses of the following sentence OK according to the context?
--------- the following --------------
Sharing money-making and housekeeping responsibilities provides a better life for both parents. The typical American wife enjoys being out in the working world. Her husband discovers that cooking and child care can be fun and can bring him closer to his family. He may also find that it's nice to have his wife's help in supporting the family. Of course, problems can develop in the two-income family if the husband expects his working wife to be the perfect homemaker (that/as) his stay-at-home mother was. |

| "That" is good. I'm not sure about "as," but I think it's OK. "That" is the better choice, in my opinion. |
